23 weird questions that make you want to bang your head

Sometimes the quirks of human nature are enough to make you want to scream. My thanks to the crew over in The Joke Street Journal, my Facebook funnies group, for sharing these questions … I thought you here on HTWB would find them head-bangingly entertaining, too.

They’ve been around for years and still no-one can answer them. Enjoy. (And do join us on Joke Street if you need a good laugh now and again – click here.)
